Hide a role from the staff schedule

New

  • Hide a role from the staff schedule — you can now mark a role (for example a "Training" role) as hidden from staff. When turned on, shifts with that role no longer appear on the schedule your staff browse, so rostering extra coverage does not signal to everyone that the location is overstaffed. Managers and admins still see every role, and a staff member rostered on the shift still sees it in their own schedule. Set it under Settings → Roles → (edit a role) → Visibility.

Manage Leave fixed for managers seeing an empty Requests list

Fixed

  • Manage Leave no longer shows an empty list when requests exist — for some managers the Requests tab badge showed pending leave (e.g. "Requests (8)") but the page displayed "No leave requests". This was caused by an error while loading extra leave details (totals and projected balances) for certain records. The page now loads reliably, and if a single record cannot be fully calculated it is shown without the projected-balance indicator instead of hiding the whole list.

Leave requests now reliably visible to managers

Fixed

  • Leave requests no longer disappear — leave submitted by staff without regular working hours set for the requested dates (e.g. contractors and casual staff) was being hidden from the Manage Leave page entirely, so managers could not see or action it. These requests are now visible to the managers of the staff member's locations, and previously stuck requests have been restored.
  • Scheduling managers can now see peer requests — leave requests submitted by scheduling-manager-level staff were not visible to other scheduling managers, leaving them unactioned. Scheduling managers can now review their peers' leave requests and timesheets.
